Meowscarada is the fastest Spiker in the metagame that also provides further utility, making it a very potent dedicated lead. Moreover, its immunity to Prankster Taunt from Grimmsnarl, another common lead, lets Meowscarada get the leg up against opposing offensive teams. Taunt in conjunction with its insane Speed tier allows Meowscarada to shut down opposing entry hazard setters and removers like Garchomp, Glimmora, Iron Moth, and Corviknight, annoy defensive Pokemon like Clodsire and Toxapex, and prevent foes such as Volcarona, Kingambit, and Dragonite from using it as setup fodder. Aside from threatening Grass-resistant Pokemon like Dragapult, Skeledirge, and Gholdengo, Knock Off's utility allows Meowscarada to soften up and cripple defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Toxapex, and it works well with Spikes by removing Heavy-Duty Boots from foes such as Amoonguss, Clodsire, and Scizor. Even with Meowscarada's middling Special Attack, Leaf Storm boosted by Overgrow can cleanly OHKO defensive Great Tusk, one of the metagame's most common entry hazard removers. Focus Sash guarantees that Meowscarada can set at least one layer of Spikes and safely puts Meowscarada into Overgrow range. Tera Ghost can be used in a pinch to spinblock Great Tusk, Iron Treads, and Torkoal.

Meowscarada excels at setting up the tempo for hyper offense teams. Offensive Stealth Rock setters like Garchomp and Great Tusk can stack entry hazards to put even more pressure on the opposing team, with mixed Garchomp threatening Corviknight from using Defog; in return, Meowscarada's Knock Off removes Heavy-Duty Boots from the likes of Dragonite, Volcarona, and Iron Moth to make them susceptible to Stealth Rock. By stacking entry hazards, Gholdengo becomes a near-mandatory teammate to prevent every attempt of hazard removal; Gholdengo also takes advantage of entry hazards itself to pressure checks like Toxapex and Clodsire, which makes Nasty Plot variants particularly difficult to deal with. Setup sweepers commonly found on hyper offense teams such as Dragonite, Kingambit, Baxcalibur, Iron Valiant, and Iron Moth appreciate Spikes chipping down Pokemon like Dondozo, Great Tusk, Garganacl, and Clodsire. Furthermore, they enjoy Meowscarada crippling defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Amoonguss with Knock Off, with Dragonite and Kingambit in particular also appreciating Meowscarada luring in and dealing with Great Tusk. Bulky setup sweepers such as Curse Garganacl and Substitute Skeledirge also appreciate entry hazards being up; in return, they can help pressure common entry hazard removers and deal with Hatterene, which would otherwise completely sit on Meowscarada.

Only notes I have are for the teammates section:

Meowscarada excels at setting up the tempo for hyper offense teams. Offensive Stealth Rock setters like Garchomp and Great Tusk can stack entry hazards to put even more pressure into the opposing team, with Garchomp notably can pressure Corviknight from using Defog with its mixed set; Meowscarada's Knock Off helps remove Heavy-Duty Boots and make the likes of Dragonite, Volcarona, and Iron Moth susceptible to Stealth Rock. By stacking entry hazards, Gholdengo becomes a near-mandatory teammate to prevent every attempts of hazard removal. (mention that it also enjoys hazards being up in general; Nasty Plot Gholdengo becomes particularly difficult to deal with then.) Setup sweepers commonly found on hyper offensive teams like Dragonite, Kingambit, Baxcalibur, Iron Valiant, and Iron Moth appreciates Spikes chipping down and overwhelming Pokemon like Dondozo, Great Tusk, Garganacl, and Clodsire. Moreover, they appreciate Meowscarada cruppling defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight and Amoonguss with Knock Off, with Dragonite and Kingambit in particular enjoy Meowscarada luring in and dealing with Great Tusk as well. (I'd make a specific mention of two bulky set up sweepers, Curse Garganacl and Substitute Skeledirge, which also appreciate foes being chipped. These pressure common entry hazard removers and both can deal with Hatterene, which completely counterleads Meowscarada.)

as an aside, you should reread this to fix some of the more obvious GP errors cause I know you can do better :)
